The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

Time flies by like a flash, and everyone was still sad about Kaguya Ji's sudden disappearance yesterday, but today is the tenth year since Kaguya Hime left Fujiwarakyo.

Ten years have passed like a sea of ​​vicissitudes, Kaguya Ji has already become the most precious memory in the mouths of the old people, and all the people and things related to that year have gradually become history.

The once-popular Fujiwara mansion is now no one cares about, the right minister, the wise man, everything has faded out of people's sight.

Until this day, the Fujiwara family, which has been out of sight for ten years, finally had new news.

The Fujiwara family is leaving Kyoto.

It is said that Fujiwara, the head of the Fujiwara family who was obsessed with Kaguya Hime back then, was not waiting. After losing the woman he admired and the best friend one after another, he was in panic all day long, but he was enlightened by an eminent monk on this day.

Although Fujiwara Bubiwai had come to his senses, he was no longer interested in official career, so he gave his house to this eminent monk, and left Kyoto with his family.

It was later known that the original name of this eminent monk was Sato, and his family had a tradition of becoming a monk from generation to generation. Each head of the family would adopt a child as his heir, and he would inherit his family and his family's Dharma after his death. Number.

The eminent monk moved into the original Fujiwara residence. His profound Buddhist practice and friendly personality soon made his name spread all over the country, and people respectfully called him——

Westward Mage.

On this day, Master Xixing did not go out to preach the Dharma as usual. Instead, he brewed a pot under a cherry blossom tree in the courtyard of his home and waited quietly.

He is waiting for an important guest.

Before dawn, Master Xixing prepared tea and waited, but it was not until the sun slanted west that the guests he was waiting for arrived late, but he was not dissatisfied, but instead gave a big salute to the other party.

"Master Bayi, you have had a hard journey."

Grey-eyed Taoist robe and long hair fluttering, the person waiting for Master Xixing was the one who disappeared with Kaguya ten years ago, Kaguya Ji's guard - Yayi Yonglin.

"Xixing, you have aged a lot."

"The little monk is a human being, and he can't compare with Master Bayi. It's natural to grow old."

Master Xixing clasped his hands together, and there was no wave in his calm eyes.

Looking at Master Xixing like this, the corners of Bayi Yonglin's lips raised slightly, and she said calmly: "In ten years, your spiritual practice seems to have not fallen behind."

"You flatter me."

"Hehe, let's stop chatting here," said Baiyi Yonglin, shifting her gaze to the cherry blossom tree behind Master Xixing, and asked, "Is that it?"

"Yes."

Master Xixing nodded, turned around and looked at the huge cherry tree, and introduced: "This cherry tree grows on the spiritual veins of this land. I found it at Mr. Fujiwara's house after searching for a long time. .”

"Yeah?"

Bayi Yonglin stretched out her hand and touched the trunk of the cherry blossom tree, raised her eyebrows and said, "This tree seems to be quite old, right?"

"You are right. This was planted before Fujiwara Kyo was established as the capital. It seems to have been hundreds of years ago."

"More than that," Yachi Yonglin shook his head: "I'm afraid it was something from a thousand years ago, and the aura has become very different from that of ordinary cherry blossom trees."

After observing the cherry blossom tree from left to right, Baiyi Yonglin withdrew her hand in satisfaction: "That's it, things that grow with the power of spiritual veins are not so easy to find."

After saying that, Bayi Yonglin asked curiously: "By the way, does it have a name?"

"As for the name, there is still one."

Speaking of this, Master Xixing's expression was somewhat unnatural.

"What's wrong? Is there something unspeakable?"

"It's not."

Master Xixing hesitated for a moment, then turned around and took out a wooden sign from a hidden corner of the root under the cherry tree. It was a wooden sign that was so old that the words on it were blurred.

"When the young monk discovered this cherry blossom tree, he also found this one on the tree at the same time," Master Xixing handed the wooden sign to Yayi Yonglin and said, "If it has a name, it must be this one."

Bayi Yonglin took the wooden sign and saw three words written on it.

"Saikyo Demon has such a strange name. It's as if I knew you would show up to take over this cherry blossom tree."

"Yes." Master Xixing smiled bitterly and said, "But it seems that this happened a long time ago. It should be accidental."

"Maybe."

Bayi Yonglin just smiled and didn't pay much attention to this little accident.

After discussing some trivial matters with Xi Xing, she suddenly said seriously: "Xi Xing, you should know the purpose of my coming here today."

"The young monk knows," Master Xixing lowered his head and replied piously: "Since you taught the young monk the technique ten years ago, the young monk has been waiting for this day."

"Okay," Yong Lin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Ten years ago, I said that in exchange for teaching you the magic, I need you and your family to do something for me. Now, it's time for you to fulfill your promise. It's time."

"Sir Bayi, please tell me."

"I need you to protect two things for me."

Bayi Yonglin said in a low voice, and then she stretched out her right hand, and a red long sword and an exquisite Western wine glass appeared out of thin air in the originally empty palm.

Immediately afterwards, Bayi Yonglin stretched out her left hand and gently pointed at the ground under Xi Xing Yao's feet. The ground began to gradually dent, and soon a medium-sized pit appeared.

She gently pushed the pit with her right hand, and the long sword and the wine glass fell into it, and then the soil on both sides immediately buried them.

After doing all this, Ba Yi Yong Lin said to Master Xi Xing on the side: "Everything in this world has a meaning, but these two are exceptions. Xi Xing, swear, I need to protect them forever and never let them go." They are coming again.”

"Xiao Monk swears," Master Xixing looked into Bayi Yonglin's eyes and said solemnly and solemnly: "Xiao Monk will protect them throughout his life until he dies, and every generation of Master Xixing after Xiao Monk will continue to protect them."

"Then I'll leave it to you, go west."

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Bayi Yonglin's face, and the seriousness in her eyes was a bit scary.

"The only thing I can think of that can suppress them is something that relies on the growth of spiritual veins. Even if it is contaminated one day sooner or later, at least it can be separated by an extra layer to buy us time."

"Master Bayi, what are these two things?"

"You don't need to know such unnecessary things."

Ba Yi Yong Lin did not answer Master Xi Xing's doubts, but solemnly asked him again before leaving: "You remember, Xi Xing, if one day this Xi Xing demon really turns into a 'monster', then only You can seal it."

"Little monk?"

"That's right, the spells I teach you can not only enhance your strength, but also subtly change your bloodline. If that day comes, only your flesh and blood who have learned these spells will be able to change your bloodline forever. 'Guard' it."

The sun's disk sank into the sea, and the incoming darkness overwhelmed Bayi Yonglin's expression, and the stars in the night sky could not illuminate her appearance, which was suddenly far and near at the moment.

"Xixing, when I chose you, I already had the consciousness of sacrificing your family and being hated by you. If you want to hate, just hate me."

"Please rest assured, Master Bayi, the young monk understands."
